[CSL board] VOTE status

[Josh Harding]

My original hope was to have the committee prepared to present some ideas at
the meeting, but I don't think that's realistic right now. Now, I just want
to get as much organizational work done on it as possible before the
meeting, so that it doesn't have to be done at the meeting, where it take
time from discussion on strategic planning.
